I'm not interested in arguing about the safety of growth hormones in beef production. But you should be aware that it is not true that most of your beef is not hormone injected. |
Not arguing because it would be pointless. You will believe what you read and I will believe what I read. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Your link is about as relevant as my comment.
It says in 2011, 80%. That was 6 years ago. That is not today. I do appreciate you finding a link.
Thanks for your quick response.
I certainly hope that we don't have to become a major food source for you. Economic reasons mostly. Also the time factors.
